Doctor Blades by Market:

Find the Best Fit for Your Printing or Coating Needs

Doctor blades control ink and coating thickness by removing excess material from the roll to produce clean, consistent results.
Selecting the right doctor blade depends on the application, since narrow web printing, coatings, and battery manufacturing each operate under different pressures, speeds, and surface conditions.

Our TruPoint® portfolio offers high-performance doctor blades for a wide range of markets, let us help you find the right fit for your application.

Doctor Blades for
Coating & Lamination

Coating and lamination processes rely on doctor blades to control coating thickness and surface uniformity. Blades used in these applications must resist chemical exposure and edge deformation to maintain consistent coat weights.

Doctor Blades for
Narrow Web

Narrow web printing requires precise ink metering at high speeds to maintain clean dots and consistent color. Polymer doctor blades are commonly used in narrow web applications because they resist fatigue, reduce ink spitting, and maintain a stable wiping edge over long runs.

Doctor Blades for
Corrugated

Corrugated printing uses higher ink volumes and rougher substrates, requiring blades that maintain stiffness under pressure. Doctor blades designed for corrugated applications help control ink film thickness while reducing anilox wear and print variation across board surfaces.

Doctor Blades for
Battery

Specialty and digital printing applications require controlled material removal across varied surfaces. Doctor blades used in these environments help maintain clean transfer and consistent results across unique substrates and ink systems.

Doctor Blades for
Digital & Specialty

In battery manufacturing, doctor blades meter coating materials onto electrodes with high precision. Polymer doctor blades are often used because they resist creep and fatigue, helping maintain consistent coating thickness throughout extended production cycles.

How to Choose the Right Doctor Blade for Your Application?

The right doctor blade is chosen based on application type, ink or coating system, operating pressure, and desired film thickness.

Doctor Blade Questions and Answers

Yes. Factors like pressure, speed, and substrate vary by application and affect which blade performs best.

Polymer doctor blades are widely used across printing, coating, and battery applications due to their durability, safety, and consistent performance.
